Potential fix for https://github.com/ihabkhaled/ClawAI/security/code-scanning/24

The best fix is to enforce strict runtime type checks in the controller before converting the request body into bytes:

  • Accept only Buffer or string request bodies.
  • Reject any other runtime type (arrays, objects, numbers, booleans, null/undefined) with a BadRequestException.
  • Convert string bodies with Buffer.from(body, 'utf8').
  • Pass only validated buffer into receiver.receive.

This preserves existing functionality for expected inputs while preventing type confusion and unsafe coercion.

Change needed in:

  • apps/claw-workspace-service/src/modules/webhooks/controllers/webhook-receiver.controller.ts
    • Add BadRequestException to Nest imports.
    • Replace inline Buffer.isBuffer(req.body) ? ... with explicit type-checked conversion logic inside receive.

No changes are required in the manager snippet because it already enforces Buffer type at its boundary.
